There is no chance of batting at number 12. Because cricket is a game of 5 people. But after the introduction of the Kanakhan Place rules, the scene of the batting of 12 cricketers in one team is no stranger. Although it is seen in Calavadre. The second ODI against New Zealand in Hamilton today came in front of Pakistan's Sufian Mukim. He used it in the pages of history.
Pakistan fell into a terrible batting disaster to chase a 20 -run target given by the Kiwis. 4 wickets lost by 42 runs. Then Harris Rauf went to bat. But in the 26th over, he had to get up when he was hit. Nasim Shah went to bat at number 7 as his condolence. He saw the first Fifty of his career on the way to 5 balls. This is the second highest personal collection by batting at number five in ODIs. Former Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir scored 5 runs against England in the 21st.
Although Nasim could not, Mukim did. He scored four fours and four sixes in the sixth. He has no more runs in this position in international cricket with three forms.
So far, the batting scene at number 12 has been seen 5 times. It started with Shannon Gabriel in the West Indies. That year, the Kanakan Sub Rule was introduced. After Gabriel, Jaiden Sils, Lungi Engidi, Bangladesh's Ebadat Hossain and Abu Zaid Rahi are batting at number 12 in the Test. But they also could not open the book. Zahir Khan, Afghanistan, was unbeaten on 5 in the Mirpur Test in 2021. This was the highest before Mukim.
Josh Little of Ireland batted at number 12 as the first cricketer in ODIs. But he was out for zero. This experience in the Twenty20 is Fazlhak Farooqi (3 *) in Afghanistan and Henry Seniondo (1) of Uganda.
Mukim took two wickets for 5 runs in the ball before he went down to play in his second ODI. He is better known as a left -handed leg spinner.
